Lane Electronics will service existing UK FIBRECO customers and develop new business using in-house connector stock, value-added cable assemblies and back-to-back supply from the FIBRECO facility where required.

The Fibreco product range includes expanded beam cable assemblies that utilise connectors such as Fibreco Junior, Mini & Senior and D38999, as well as Stratos HMA connectors.
